A BIG SUCCESS,
The Turner'S Picnic at Columbia Gar
dens-List Of the Prize Winners.

Yesterday the long advertised and eagerly
expected picnic Of the Butte urn Verein at
Columbia Gardens came off and will be an
event long remembered by those who were
present as q perfect success. The grounds
was crowded from an early hour. Beer
flowed like water and the stock had to be
~replenished twice. Such a thirsty crowd
never assembled in the neighborhood OF
Butte and yet the utmost good humor pre-.
vailed. Some, indeed, were overcome by
the soporiic tendencies of the loads they
took in too q uickly and retired to shady
spots where they could sleep it off. The
boats on the pond were %patronized and
one or two overfresh young people got
duckings. Various side games were run
ming, which were eagerly ~patronized by the
amusement-seeking cro"d. The number
out there was unprecedented. Never has
there been 50 great q crowd in the place
since it was first opened. C~onveyances to
the grounds were largely awaited at 81 the
round trip, and it Wal after midnight be-
fore the happy picnickers were all home.
The dancing Dom was patronized from
early in the afternoon to the last minute.
But the greatest interest Of the day GEN.
tered on the games. for which a long list of
prizes was published on Friday. The
events were contested with spirit. The fol-

Details of the Death of Governor Pot,

Details of the Death of Governor Potts
HELENA, NJ. T., June 18.-[Special to The
Miner. ]-Ex-Governor B. F. Potts died at
his residence. as the readers of The MINER
were advised by a bulletin last night. The
sad event had been expected for some hours
and had been anticipated since early in the
week. Since last autumn he had been
suffering with a trouble at first supposed to
be bronchial or pulmonary consumption,
but which finally developed. into aneurism
of a main artery OF the chest. Early in the
spring he went east to consult eminent
medical authority but the best thing that
could be done was to recommend what is
called the 'rest treatment" which involved
strict qnietude and a very meagre diet, the
application of which reduced him to almost
a skeleton. Thereafter it was proposed to
build up the system when the aneurisn had
subsidized. This treatm ent was pursued at
bis own residence under the supervision OF
local physicians. But all efforts were un-
awaiting to save him and death supervened
as stated. At the fatal hour his bedside
was surrounded and the residence was
filled with leading citizens who mourned
the departure of one who had been a loved
personal friend and leading element of
public life. OF :the relatives therelwere his
beloved wife. her brothers and Mr.. 8. E.
Atkinson and Miss Atkinson, his nephew
and niece. His death will be greatly
deplored.

mon Jones, who took advantage Of his engage
ment to her to mislead her. The result OF this
was demand on the part Of the girls father
that Jones marry her. This Jones refused to
do. and charges Of seduction were preferred
against him.
Jones confded his troubles to an uncle named
Norris, who in turn enlisted the aid OF A. Jack
son McCauley, a wel-to-do young farmer. Nc
Cauley, 1t seems, was married man with two
children, and was in love himself with Miss
Ivey, and they had been intimate. The testi-

to e!ope with the latter, and thus allow the suit
against Jones TO fall through for want Of prose-
